The Features of Autoclave Oven for Carbon Fiber

Autoclave oven for carbon fiber (also called composite autoclave) is the kind of widely used industrial autoclave which can control temperature, pressure, vacuum, cooling, cycle and other parameters in carbon fiber curing process. The autoclave oven for carbon fiber equipment mainly consists of mechanical body, functional parts and control system. Mechanical parts include contains shell, below plate, trolley, gas flow control device, seal parts and so on. Functional parts consist of heating, pressure, vacuum and cooling system. Control parts include temperature, pressure manual and automatic system.

Features of Autoclave Oven for Carbon Fiber

1. The autoclave oven for carbon fiber belongs to the high pressure vessel, the safety is the most important. Taian Strength Equipments Co., Ltd designs double safety locks no matter autoclave oven for carbon fiber door or shell body.
2. The autoclave oven for carbon fiber requires high quality  temperature balance, pressure stable, vacuum durability, and it should integrate these three parameters as a whole. Taian Strength Equipment Co., Ltd brand carbon fiber autoclave can control the temperature between -4℃ and +4℃, no matter the carbon fiber autoclave size.
3. The carbon fiber autoclave should work for a long time with no breakdown, all user pay more attention on it. All of valve, electrical components, automatic valve, electrical appliances use Schneider brand, this can guarantee work stability.

The main advantage of autoclave oven for carbon fiber should have the uniform pressure and temperature in the tank. Under the joint action of the pressure and temperature, it can meet the requirement of high fiber content of composite material, low porosity of the formed components, uniform resin content, and high mechanical properties and stable physical properties. The carbon fiber autoclave is used for laminating, sandwich, bonding, sewing and other structures. The mold is also relatively simple and efficient, especially suitable for curing and forming large composite material components with high performance requirements.

Main System Composition of Automatic Autoclave

Automatic autoclave ( also called composite autoclave) is used for metal/non-metal adhesive components and resin based high strength glass fiber, carbon fiber, boron fiber, arylon fiber and other composite materials, such as aircraft doors, fairing, airborne radome, bracket, wing, tail, etc. The automatic autoclave is a set of system equipment, it can realize the sequential and real-time control of process parameters such as temperature, pressure, vacuum, cooling and circulation.

Main Subsystems of Automatic Autoclave

• Tank Body: High pressure and high temperature, with tank body, tank door mechanism, high temperature motor, wind tunnel plate thermal insulation layer, etc.
• Safety Interlock Device: High – voltage automatic interlock, manual interlock, high – voltage alarm device.
• Quick Opening Device: Manual and electric dual-purpose quick opening design, it can normally open and close the tank door in case of power failure.
• Tank Door Sealing Device: Tank door using silicone inflatable sealing, high pressure 400℃, no wear.
• Pressure System: Pressure transmission and control system, with compressor, gas storage tank, pressure control valve, pipeline, pressure transmitter and pressure gauge.
• Heating System: In the automatic autoclave forming process, the far infrared quartz electric heat pipe as the heating source, the fluid medium (generally air under low temperature condition, inert gas under high temperature condition) as the heat transfer carrier, and the fan as the forced gas circulation power to complete the process of the circular heating of the molding tool. In the cooling stage, the cooling process of the tooling is realized by circulating water to remove heat.
• Temperature Circulating System: With circulating fan, air guide plate and guide cover to accelerate heat conduction and circulation, forming uniform temperature field.
• Vacuum System: It consists of vacuum pump, pipeline, vacuum meter and vacuum valve, providing vacuum conditions for encapsulated composite prefabricated parts.
• Automatic Control System of Automatic Autoclave: It adopt Siemens PLC control system, to realize the pressure, temperature, cooling and other process parameters of the full precision control and real-time recording.

Temperature and Pressure Required for Autoclave Oven Carbon

Taian Strength Equipments Co., Ltd is the professional autoclave oven carbon manufacturer. The autoclave oven carbon is also known as  composite autoclave. We are the  pressure vessel designer and manufacturer certificated with ASME U and U2, and we also have D1/D2, A2 pressure vessel manufacturing capacity. Our company has all qualified manufactured certifications, professional testing center with different testing equipment to ensure quality, and perfect quality guarantee system.

Technical Principles for Autoclave Oven Carbon

1.  High temperature and pressure gas are adopted in autoclave oven carbon to cure the blank into forming, the autoclave oven carbon gas mainly have air, nitrogen and carbon dioxide.

2. Prepress preparation,  cutting, stacking, forming and curing.

3. Forming, suction plastic, heat transfer with curing process, fiber reinforced, resin curing, resin flow, bubble formation and movement, residual stress deformation.

4. Technical process characteristics such as temperature and pressure required for autoclave oven carbon.

A.Pressure balance in the autoclave oven carbon, use compressed gas or inert gas or gas mixture to rise pressure in the tank body, these pressure will be into surface of vacuum bags, then carbon fiber will cure and forming.

B.Temperature balance, heating or cool gas loop in the autoclave oven carbon at a high speed, will make sure temperature generally same at every place. On the premise of reasonable mold structure, can guarantee the sealing parts temperature in the mould not have a big difference.

5. The autoclave oven carbon is widely used in different industries, the mold is relatively simple and efficient, which is suitable for the forming of skin, wall and shell with large area and complex surface. If the size of autoclave oven carbon is large, multiple layers of molds can be placed at one time, and various complex structures and components of different sizes can be formed at the same time. The temperature and pressure can meet the molding process requirements of almost all polymer matrix composites, such as low-temperature molding polyester composites, high-temperature and high-pressure molding PI and PEEK composites, and can also complete the molding of seam /RFI processes.

Application of Autoclave Oven Carbon

The autoclave oven carbon can be used for metal or nonmetal bonding components and resin based high strength glass fiber, carbon fiber, boron fiber, aramid fiber and other composite materials. Such as aircraft doors, fairing, airborne radome, support, wings, tail, etc.

The SIEMENS PLC is adopted to control the temperature, pressure, vacuum and time. This autoclave oven carbon is a new type high temperature curing equipment which features of saving energy, high efficiency and environment friendly. It has a good results when automatically operate. The controlling system is specially developed for automatic vacuum, automatic temperature, automatic insulation, automatic pressure, automatic pressure relief, automatic control of working time. It can change working time, working temperature, working pressure, working vacuum at any will. It can come true for direct bring products automatically after design its program, this will save manual, costs for company. As estimated, it can save 25% manufacture costs. Also U disk can be used to copy storage temperature, pressure curve, etc.
